Murder of Michelle Angela Garvey



On June 1, 1982, 14-year-old Michelle Garvey snuck out of a window of her home in New London, Connecticut. It was believed that she had either hitch hiked or met someone in town and got into their car. This wasn't the first time she ran away, but it was the last time they would see her.


2 days later Michelle would turn 15. It wasn't known where and how or even if she did celebrate her birthday. It was believed that she may have been trying to return to her home state of New Jersey or to North Carolina. However it's unknown what she did during June. 

On July 1st Michelle's body would be found in a field in Baytown, Texas.She had died elsewhere and here body dumped there merely hours before she was found. She had been strangled to death. It is believed that she was sexually assaulted as her bra was missing her shirt was unbuttoned. Her bra and shoes were not found at the scene. 

Michelle would be a jane doe up until January of 2014. Her family had hoped that she was still alive living her life out there and were heart broken when they found out she had died a month after running away. 

It is possible that she may be a victim of the Texas Killing Fields
